Reactive (positive). This means that you have been infected with hep C at some point, but you may not be currently infected. Your immune system may have fought off the virus on its own without treatment. If you're positive or think you've been exposed to the hep C virus within in pa...
Hepatitis C virus is a poor inducer of interferon α, and work with the recently developed cell culture system for HCV has shown two mechanisms for this—(1) cleavage by the HCV NS3/4A protease of the cell mitochondria adapter MAVS involved in interferon induction, and (2) HCV-mediated ...
see below) then begin to develop as the virus replicates in the liver cells (hepatocytes and Kupffer cells, also termed liver macrophages). HAV reproduces itself by utilizing the liver cells' ribosomes for viral replication

In addition, we investigated by immunoenzymatic methods the cellular biosynthesis of several proteins: apolipoproteins-AI,-B,-D, and-E, albumin, alpha-fetoprotein, transferrin, alpha- 1 -antitrypsin, C-reactive protein, fibronectin, and collagens I, III and IV. The rates of accumulation, in ...

Each PCR reaction, done with 10 oligo(dT) and 9 arbitrary primers (Clontech, USA) (shown in Table 1), consisted of two stages: in stage one, three cycles were performed at low primer binding temperature (40 °C), which enables non-specific binding of an arbitrary primer to different ...
Over-expression of wild-type TRX1 in HepG2 cells led to the inhibition of As2O3-induced cytochrome c (cyto c) release, caspase activation and apoptosis, and down-regulation of TRX1 expression by RNAi sensitized HepG2 cells to As2O3-induced apoptosis. Interestingly, mutation of the active ...
